I assume some we will be trying to move on as well. |  |

Current state of play - thought this might be helpful! on 18:37 - May 10 with 2265 views | Parky | Unless we sell a lot of players, that’s extremely disappointing in my opinion. Not exactly the ‘demolition man’ I had hoped for and expected. If the EFL continue with their proposed squad cap of 20, we have basically that now. |  | |  |

Obviously several will be sold or we will at least test the market for them. It makes zero business sense to release/pay up players that have resale value. |  | |  |

No shït Sherlock. Just an observation that we haven’t got rid of as many players as I’d have liked to and expected. |  | |  |

You’re just making things up now fella. One on thread you’re agreeing with the fact we’ve still got some deadwood contracted ” Unless he's being lined up for work in a new concession stand I can't say I would be impressed with him remaining around the club”. is a quote you made on the topic and then on another you’re fine and happy with it. |  | |  |

For God sake. Not everyone here today will be here in a couple of months. In fact I'd guess half those still here will be gone. |  | |  |

Oy vey. It's one thing to think he should probably have been let go. It's another to be having a meltdown because Cook hasn't fired everyone on day one. I have no idea how some people on here operate in the real world. Does a trip to the supermarket often end up with with wailing on the floor because they've sold out of Coco Pops? Manage your expectations. Have patience. Don't get sassy. |  |

I would say 3/4 of those in contract players will have contracts settled and another will be sold. Of the option list I would expect another 2 will be sold/Part exchanged and 2 will go out on loan. That sees another 8 or so out of the picture. [Post edited 10 May 2021 20:25]

Nobody’s “wailing on the floor” or “having a meltdown”. I’m posting on an Ipswich Town forum my initial thoughts on the situation. You’ve definitely overplayed it. I’m just saying, keeping players like Drinan, Bishop, Donacien, Nsiala on the books is slightly disappointing for me. I understand some may still move on, hence why I made the original comment “unless we sell a lot of players”. |  | |  |

Maybe you shouldn't have included the bit about expecting demolition man on day one then? |  |

You may not be wrong, just an initial observation that the squad still looks relatively large, especially factoring in the 20 man cap. My guess: Holy, Hawkins, Jackson, Lankester, El Mizouni will be sold and/or settled leaving space for 7 new signings. |  | |  |

I think around 34 players will go. There is a hope that the 20 man cap may give a little and it would be sensible to go over it to allow for any LTI's that we may encounter. Perhaps the likes of Drinnan may have a US vacation. Anyway I think more than 7 will be in and complimented by a few classier loans. |  | |  |
